Fifty Millions Lost Annually.

Facts in possession of the Government show
that the loss of farm animals from contag-
ious diseases exceeds fifty million dollars an
nually and that this enormous loss falls
almost wholly upon farmers and poultry
raisers, the loss from chicken cholera alone
being almost beyond belief. Cases are men,
toned where whole townships have been
swept by chicken cholera and tens of thou.
sands of fowl lost at one outbreak. In the
case Of pleuro-Pneumonia and hog cholera, no
absolute remedy has as yet been discovered,
but in the case of chicken cholera and all dis
eases of chickens an unfaling remedy has
been discovered. We refer to Sheridans
Condition Powder. This powder was a mar
velous discovery. 1t will not only prevent
and cure all diseases of poultry but there is
nothing on earth that will make hens Law like
it. If you desire to learn how to use this
powder to prevent and cure chicken cholera,

How the Solid South is Secured

a Charleston. S. c., dispatch to the
New York Times contains an account of
the action taken by the citizens of Fair
view Township in breaking up the secret
labor organizations of the negroes. 1t
appears that the negroes fearing Interior
held their meetings at midnight. The
whites determined to discontinue them al :
together and forming an organization for
this purpose sent armed bands to the
houses of the negroes and brought them
before q tribunal whose authority was on
par with that of ku.Klux and lynchers, by
which each was thoroughly examined
under threats. The result of the exsmina-
ton is stated in the despatchas follows -
1t was found that in May, Sherman Nc
Cray, a young black man from the Land
Creek section, went through the Fsirview
country talking to the colored people wherever
he could find them alone. in the fields or in
the houses, of his new society. He explained
that i. would band the working people togeth.
er, and that 1t would reduce meat and bread
to wholesale prices for its members. OF course

labor catechism and the constitution to his
hearers, sut the two ideas above stated and
the fact that there WAS = membership fee of
IS cents, seems to have chiefly impressed the
negroes. Whenever he could get five or more
to sgree to join his society he assembled them
at q neighbours house. administered to them
an oath of secrecy, and left them to study the
cstechism and constitution as they best could,
and TO seek recruits. ALI the negroes solemn
ly and repeatedly asserted. and they stuck to
it, that they had never heard a word said
about any purpose to harm the white people
or their property or anybody else.
And yet, after finding the above, the
.'chivalrous" southerners informed the ne
groes that 1.-THE whites were opposed to
secret societies organized by irresponsible
men and holding secret meetings at mid

To Sufferers From Weak Spine.

Persons suffering from weak back will take
comfort in reading the following letter from
Mr.. A. w. Barrett. of Oswego, N. Y:
Ten years ago was afflicted with a lame
back. The pain was so severe that | could
hardly walk or get about. Hearing much
said about Alcock's Porous Plasters,
applied two to the lower part of my spine. In
week vas very much better. | put on
fresh plssters at the end of ten days, and two
weeks afterwards found myself entirely well.
If get a verv severe cold, sometimes have
a return of this weakness of the spine, but
Allcock's Porous Plasters cure me in three or
four DAYS.

night, and would not tolerate them"
Theresurely was nothing gained BY this
searching investigation to warrant the
whites in announcing to the negroes that
they would not be allowed to have any
secret organizations. They themselves
were undoubtedly members of secret
societies formed for purposes not so COM
mendable. and yet they warned their fellow
'niggers" they call them there
that no such privileges would be per-
mitted them. The only preteuse that can
be assigned for such unfair treatment is a
desire to provoke a quarrel. which will
give the whites an opportunity to again
commence a shotgun campaign, and
make doubly sure the results of the cleo
tons of 1888. How long the South is to
be allowed this kind of campaign work is
question which is again being discussed.
The negroes ia this State have suffered
from every injustice that their white
neighbors could devise. They have been
not much better on tnan Wnen tney were
slaves. They have sought homes as fast
as their scant means would allow in other
States. They have covered before the
tyranncal arm of oppression when unable
to gain other homes, yielding every right
of citizenship, and when in their feeble
way they attempt to form labor unions
for self protection against the injustices
to which they are subjected. they are
warned that such organizations Twill not
be tolerated" Such are equal rights at the
South and such are the methods and means
employed to hold the negro in subsection,
so that the vote of solid South may be
made as certain as the election which is
approaching.

May Yet beat the Standard OIL Company.

The growth of the Moxie Nerve Food BUSH
ness is something prodigious. 1t is predicted
by eminent physicians that as it fills place
medicine canot reach, it will be the largest
business in tie country. In Milwaukee, they
gave the Food to a Mrs. Mary Z. Cook, living
at 37S Van Buren, Street, who had been near
ly helpless for years, from being overtasked
with work. Her weight went from ll5 lbs.
to l65 los. in few weeks, and she fully re
covered. 1t created 80 much interest. the
medical men hardly knew what to think of it,
as all that system could do had been tried.
If the Company would only reduce the price
to 80 cents bottle, everyb 1dy could use it.
1t really gives great powers of endurance.

Well, the Administration organs-chief
ly the mugwump ones, which have al
ways done the heavy apologizing-have
acted exactly as shrewd Colonel Lamont
said they would if the President
Gettysburg letter was sent to them early.
They have commented upon the letter edi-
torially. They see in it rebuke to those
who made such disturbance about the
Presidents order to return the rebel battle
flags. 1t was, according to the organs, a
severe and much deserved rebuke. When
the veterans who fought in the war and
patriotic people of all parties, embracing
a pretty unanimous sentiment, rise up to
protest against the return of rebel flags
perhaps it is necessary that somebody
should rebuke this feeling of patriotism
and honest loyalty. A few of the demo-
cratic organs undertook to do it, but it re-
NAMED for democratic President--the
only one elected to that high position since
the war. who was not in the army-to
complete the job. 1t is great thing for
the President thus to rebuke the people.

by the committee of judges to be the best

The administration is receiving at pres
ent considerable commentator from its
party press, for the large decrease that
has been made during the past year in the
public debt. Although not wishing to de-
tract in the least from the success, if any,
of the administration in thus applying
receipts of mohey according to laws to
the reduction of the debt. the Tribune
does severely criticise the President for
failure to meet other obligations as hon
orable and more sacred-the debt owed
the brave men who risked their lives dur
ing the great rebellion, to save the nation.
This debt whenever presented as pension
bill or as salary for some faithful soldier
employee has been either wholly repu-
dated or greatly discounted.

grammar school at ST. Adams. From there
he came to- Middlebury college, where he was
graduated in 1899. Mr.. SAKE then turned his
attention to law, and having been admitted
to the bar in 1913. began at st. Adams in the
profession which he constantly followed
thu ough lite, Mr.. SAKE was also strong pol
itician, of the Democratic persuasion, and at
one time was the candidate of that party for
the governorship of this State. He had also
been interested in literary pursuits, for five
years conducting the Burlington Sentinel,and
for several years was editor of the Albany IN
" journal. But as a poet he is best known
OF him it has been said: "Mr Sake is not a
sentimentalist-his poetry is a comic display
of wisdom. He satirizes well, in verse, the
follies of the day. He is wit, and this hum.
orous vein diffuses itself in his conversation
equally rs in his verse. lie is very pleasant,
agreeable man in private life, and capital
travelling companion, full OF life and fun"
Mr.. SAKE also occasionally left his home to
lecture, and whether discoursing upon fash
ion, religion, politics OIL morals, he was al
ways the same, treating each subject with
witty novelties, and yet clothing his ideas
with true poetical expression. The best
known of his poetical lectures are: Progress,
a Satire (iSi6), The Rape of the Lock Qs4D,
The Proud Miss Mcbride QS4s-a hit at the
false pride and moneyed aristocracy of the
day,-The Times Qs49), and the Money liking
QS54). He had published several collections
of poetry, and has been Il contributor at diff
ferent times to the Knickerbocker, Atlantic
Monthly, iIarper's Magazine and other peri
odicals. Among his later works were: The
Flying Dutchman Qs62), The Masquerade
Qs66), Fables and Legends in Rhyme Qs72),
and Leisure Day Rhymes (ls49) Mr. SAKE re-
sided many years in Burlington, VT, and then
removed to New York state, at one time re-
siding in Albany, at another in Brooklyn.
Among the poets classmates in college here
were Hon Edwin Everts, now of Virden, ILL.,,
and Hon. George 5. Swift of Detroit, Mich.
